If the problem goes away, then you need to review your add-ons to see which is affecting your access to the Verizon forums. FWIW, I also occasionally use IE, Google Chrome, and Safari on this Windows PC to access Verizon websites, I can log in with all of them."

In Firefox, when I try to sign in, I enter my Verizon user name and password.  This is NEVER accepted and I am returned to the same page.  The Vz page tries to run some kind of script that Forefox rejects.  Just now, for the first time, I ran Firefox with no add-ins and I WAS able to sign in - which is how I am writing this comment.

My Firefox add-ins are only

NoScript - but all verizon domain names are approved

AdBlock - but I had turned it off separately and

Better Privacy - but that does nothing during a Firefox session; it wipes out Flash cookies only at the end of a session.

Any ideas?

Wow, so few Smiley Very Happy I have 24 active and a number I have disabled because I lost interest or got fed up.....

My guess would be NoScript. I have it installed but disabled, it just caused too many problems for me, it seems like every web page I want to visit uses scripts, and I got tired of fighting with NoScript. Verizon uses a lot of domain names, plus there are the Lithium-related ones that I am pretty sure also run scripts, so my guess is that somewhere you missed one (or more) domains.

Something called "AdBlock" or "Adblock Plus"? I use Adblock Plus, use it to block ads on lots of web pages,including Verizon's, has not caused me any problems, probably my favorite add-on - but then again, I use Colorful Tabs, Download Statusbar, Flashblock, HTTPS-Anywhere, Live IP Address, QuickPageZoom, selectivecookiedelete, ShowIP, Tab Mix Plus, and View Coolkies among others, so it is a little hard to choose Smiley Happy

I too use Better Privacy.
